Lyla: P, what are you doing? This is a handcar; there´s a trick to it!
Look, if we´re going to catch the train, we´re going to have to work together.
We´ve gotta get in sync, develop a rhythm.
Watch, I´ll show you.

Yours goes up when mine goes down
And then we do it the other way around
Don´t you give me that sigh, ´cause if we can´t see eye to eye
Then our missions will be always filled with strife,
´Cause a handcar is a metaphor for life
For life...

(As the handcar starts to speed up, the music gradually gets faster)

Don´t push up, just push down;
I´ll push down on my side. That´s it!
That´s right. Here we go!!!!

(The music starts going even faster)

Ah, I see a little platy-smile there!
That´s right! Now we´re cookin´ with gas!
See? It´s better when we work together!

We´re on a handcar (Handcar!)
Yeah, we´re gettin´ in the groove
We´re on a handcar (Handcar!)
It´s the only way to move

We´re on a handcar (Handcar!)
We´re like a well-oiled machine
We´re on a handcar (Handcar!)
Yeah, we´re workin´ like a team

We´re on a handcar (Handcar!)
We´re a real double-header
It´s a heavy-handed metaphor
For how we work together!

It´s a handcar! (Handcar!)
Yeah, we´re on a handcar! (Handcar!)
We´re on a handcar (Handcar!)
Yeah, we´re on a handcar!
